Mildura Planning Scheme Amendment C102 - Public Exhibition Period

Published on 26 July 2019

The amendment relates to land described as Part CA 9 Section 7 Township of Merbein. The land is immediately south of the railway line and east of Main Avenue (Calder Highway).

The rezoning reflects the change in the type of ownership of the land, from a public entity to a private business, and from VicTrack to Lower Murray Water. This will facilitate and protect future development of the existing multimodal freight transport hub.

In accordance with Section 19 of the Planning and Environment Act, 1987 notice is given of the above amendment.  You now have the opportunity to view Amendment C102 documentation and if you wish, make a submission.

The amendment documentation is available via www.delwp.vic.gov.au/public-inspection from the date the notice appears in the Victorian Government Gazette.

Submissions must be in writing, providing the submitter’s name and postal contact address, clearly stating the grounds on which the amendment is supported or opposed and indicating what changes (if any) the submitter wishes to make.

Mr Peter Douglas Coordinator Strategic Planning Mildura Rural City Council PO Box 105, Mildura VIC 3502
